Re: Liang Chow- ISU coach?

No, it was actually the UofI....the announcer had quite a pause trying to think of the university. he was probably confusing it with Shawn's use of I-state's facitlities while Chow's gym was flooded. but, hey it was a mention.

I'm sorry wrong thread.

As far as depth goes though, the combination of White, Woodbury, Olaseni, Basabe, and Uthoff is much better than Niang, Ejim, Edozie, Gibson. Not because of the top 2, but because of the next 2 or 3. -DeanVogs

Re: Liang Chow- ISU coach?

Yeah, the Chow's Gymnastics website confirms that he spent seven years at Iowa...

As I pointed out last night, though, at least the announcer messed up by saying Iowa State instead of Iowa. Usually when an announcer does something like that, it's the other way around.

True. Plus you have to understand that most people outside the midwest (even in some parts of the midwest) confuse the two schools and don't really know where they are.

Nah he'll be too busy raking in the cash, telling all of these girls they're the next Shawn Johnson (or having the parents pay him to "make" them the next Shawn Johnson), even though that's impossible.....

I wonder how full his gym got in the last couple of years? Talk about striking oil after only having his own gym for a couple of months.
